OF PENNSYLVANIA sUnG oALsUo'rIon ANDrnnssonn APPARATUS Application fiIed May 5, 1927 Serial No. 188,944.

This invention relates to improvement in surgical suction and pressureapparatus for providing negative pressure for suction for drawing fluidsfrom the body, forproviding pressurefor sprays and for vaporizing ether.

Apparatus of this character includesa botue for containing the liquid tobe atomized or sprayed when the apparatus is operated as a pressuredevice, and for receiving the liquid when the apparatus is used as asuction device, and, in each instance, the bottle is provided with aremovable cover having an inlet tube and an outlet tube extendingtherethrough.

An ob'ect ofmy present invention is'to provide a novel, simple andefiicient means for holding the bottle'in'a fixed position which willpermit the. bottle to be easily and V quickly removed and replaced oranother substituted for it for filling or emptying pur-- poses. Anotherobject is to provide a novel andadvantageous clamping means which, atoneloperation, Wlll clamp the cover upon the 1 bottle and clamp thebottle upon its support,

" and, at another operation,

will release the bottle and, at the same time, release the cover thereonfor its easy removal therefrom.

The invention consists in the novelconstruction, combination andarrangement of elements hereinafter described and claimed.

lnxthe accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention,

Figure l is a side view of an apparatus embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical section thereof, on line 2- 2 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 3 designates a supporting base having a postrising edly from the central portion thereof.

Screwed into the upper end portion of the post 4 is a threaded rod orstem 5 carrying a spider 6 which is provided with radially projectingarms '7 which support a table 8 and which have up turned ends 9confining the table between them. By turning the spider 6 and its stem5, the table 8 may be adjusted vertically to different positions. A locknut 10 is provided upon the stem 5 to be screwed against the top of thepost 4 to of adjustment.

The outer portion of the table 8 is provided with an" upwardly extendingannular flange 11 which surrounds and projects above a yieldable cushionpad 12 of rubber or other material which rests upon the table 8 forreceiving and supporting a bottle 13.

The bottle 13 is provided with a cover 14 which rests upon the top ofthe neck 15 thereof. .The cover 14 comprises a body portion 16 having adownwardly extending annular flange 17 which surrounds the bottle neck15 and positions the cover 14 centrally thereon. Extending through thebody portion 16 of thecover' are inlet and outlet tubes 18 and l9,respectively, which are fixed in the body portion 16. These tubes 18 and19 may extend down into the bottle any desired distance suitable for thepurpose for which the bottle is used.

lVithin the flange 17 and secured to the body portion 16 of the cover 14is a yieldable upon the top, of the bottle neck 15 and which surroundsthe tubes 18 and 19.

Connected to the post 4 and extending rear wardly from the back thereofis an arm 21 carrying a standard 22 which rises from the rearward end ofthe arm. The upper end of the standard is provided with a forwardlyextending arm 23 the forward end of which supports avertically-extending tubular guide 24 comprising anupper portion 25formed integral with the arm 23 and a lower portion 26 screwed into theupper portion 25.

The tubular guide 24 is arranged in axial alinement with the bottle 13and post 4, and a vertically movable rod 27 is slidably contained withinthe guide 24 and projectsbelow the bottom thereof. 1 The lower endportion of the rod 27 isprovided with a head or clamping member 27adapted to engage the bottle cover 14 centrally thereof when the rod 27is lowered.

The upper end of the rod 27 engages a cam 28 formed on a hand operatedlever 29. The lever 29 isfulcrumed, at 30, on the upper end portion ofthe guide 24 which is bifurcated to receive the lever and the cam.

The-rod27 is pressed against the cam 28 by a spring 31 which encirclestherod 27 within a the lower portion 26 of the guide 24: and'has itsupper end bearing against the bottom of a pin 32. which entendstransversely through,

and beyond the rod 27 and beyond the respec vv The lower end of the;

tive sides thereof. spring '31 bears upon an IHWQICllY-GXtQIlClIIlg,

annular flan The forward end of the lever 29 terminates ina suitablehandle by means of which the; lever may be'moved'down from the positionshown by dot-anddash lines in Fig.1 to the,

position shown by full lines therein andbacli again. The contour of thesurface of thecam' 28 against which the rod 27 bears is such thatwhenthe lever29 is raised to the posi tion shown by dot-and dash linesin Fig. :1,

the cam 28rwill permit the spring 81 to raise the rod 27 and clampingmember 21 to the positionshown by similar lines in Fig. l; and that,when the-lever 29'is lowered to the position shown by full linesin Fig.1, the

*rod 27 and .clamping member :27 will be forced downagainst the actionof the spring positionshown similar lines in} 31' to the Fig.1. 7Shoulders or projections 33 and 34 on the lever 29 are provided toengage the upper portion 25 0f the. guide 24 and limit the up and linesin Fig. 1, the cover 14 will be clamped upon the bottle 13 and the coverand bottle together will be firmly clamped between the.

clamping member'27 and the table 8, the pad 12-and the ringeo yielding,as the clamping membermoves'to its final clamping po'si tion, and makinga tight joint between the cover and the bottle and protecting the bottleagainst breakage. Itwill be understood also thatwhen the lever 29 israisedto the position shownby dot-and-dash line-s in' Figyl, the

b0ttle'1'3 and cover l lwill befree'd, permitting-the bottleeasily to beremoved from the table and the cover the bottle;
